17 Most Underrated ‘90s Movies That Deserve Another Watch

In addition to giving the world some of the best pop songs ever (even if we kind of forgot about them for a bit), the '90s were a time of great movie blockbusters. The era gave us magnificent romances like Titanic, science fiction adventures like Jurassic Park, cult classics like Clueless, animated masterpieces like The Lion King and Toy Story, Oscar winners like Good Will Hunting, and dramas like American Beauty. However, there are some underrated movies from the '90s that deserve a second watch.

Whether they went straight to video (VHS, to be exact) or they just had a more low-key theatrical release, some of these films are total gems — but lacked the Oscar buzz of, say, Titanic. An absence of acclaim, however, does not make these films any less deserving a revisit. In fact, their understated nature makes them even more worthy of some extra love. Just in case these underrated movies slipped your mind — and it's understandable if they did — you can now rectify that wrong by catching up on all of these masterpieces. (You're welcome.) Check out 17 of the most underrated movies of the '90s below!
